What SDLC Paradigm Did You Use in Your Project? (programming.dev)

Hi everyone! I’m a student currently working on a research activity for our Software Engineering class, and I’d really appreciate your insights. 😊

I’m looking to gather input from software developers, project managers, or engineers about the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) paradigms you've used in your past or current projects.

If you have a few minutes to spare, I’d love to hear your answers to these quick questions:

What type of software did you develop? (e.g., mobile app, enterprise system, game, etc.)
Which software development paradigm did your team follow? (eg. Prototyping Model, Spiral Model, Fourth Generation Techniques (4GT), Waterfall Model Agile Model, V-Shaped Model, Incremental Model, RAD (Rapid Application Development), Feature Driven Development (FDD), Big Bang Model, Scrum, etc)
Why did you choose that particular paradigm? (e.g., client requirement, team familiarity, project scale, etc.)

Your input will be used for academic purposes only, and it would really help me complete this task with real-world insights. Thank you so much in advance!

My last role had no paradigm, conflicting inputs from multiple people you had to work with vs your management, and God help you if you prioritized one over another.

I’ve also been in roles where I “supported” people who were using an agile+waterfall hybrid, and my role included keeping an eye on their 6-12 month plans and making sure the backend things they would need would be ready when they’d need them, with the gentle understanding that they may not know what they need.

I’ve never seen a Scrum “team” that actually follows Scrum. Ask me about hour-long daily standups!
